The Quail
Description: We are looking for a volunteer to do layout & graphics for The Quail. We provide the template (formatted with InDesign) and the text. Then, you add the graphics and do the layup.
Qualifications: Ability to manipulate graphics files; experience using InDesign.
Time commitment: 5-8 hours per issue; 9 issues per year.
Contact: Cynthia Stockwell at 345-9358 or quail (at) clearwire.net.
Help Lane Audubon with Bookkeeping
If you know how to use the software program Quicken and have about an hour a month of volunteer time available, Lane Audubon could use you.
We're looking for a dependable person to help keep our books. This involves entering financial data into Quicken and generating reports two or three times a year.
No experience is necessary-just a familiarity with Quicken. Our bookkeeping system is in place, so setting up a new system is not required.
If you're interested in this opportunity, please contact Ron Renchler at 345-0834 or christyandron (at) qwest.net.
Many thanks to Lane Audubon booth volunteers!

Outdoor community events are a hallmark of spring in our area, and this past spring was no exception. As usual, Lane Audubon had a booth presence at several festivals and celebrations.
Without the help of Lane Audubon booth volunteers, we would not be able to reach so many community members with information about our events, activities, and educational and conservation programs. Thanks to all those who staff the booth to help us educate the public about the importance of birds and their habitat. Your volunteer spirit is very much appreciated.

A special thank you goes to Kris Kirkeby, Lane Audubon Education Chair, who prepared and ran a great kids' education and activity booth next to the Lane Audubon booth at the festival. Kris, who developed and manages our popular Audubon in the Schools program, provided the younger birding set with a wonderful variety of activities that let them have fun while learning about birds. She is one of Lane Audubon's most valuable assets.
